The Attorney-General Renders Decis-
ion in a Railroad Land Case.

ion In q KaflrOau Lana ease.
WASHINGTON, March 1Sth.-In compli-
ance with a request from the Secretary of
the Interior, the Attorney General rendered
a decision in the celebrated case of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company VS..
Guilford Miller, brought in the Department
of the Interior on appeal from decision
of the Commissioner of the General Land
Office. The history of the case, briefly
stated. is as follows: On December %,
1884, Miller entered a homestead entry OF
the tract in question in the Walla Walla.
W. T., Land Office. The tract SO entered
lies within forty miles of the line of the
general route of the said road, as shown by
a map filed February 81, 1872 which filing,
under the granting Act, operated 10 with
draw the land from settlement and entry.
On the definite location of the road, October
A. $780, the land was found to be outside
of the forty, and within the ffty-mile
indemnity limit, and the withdrawal from
the original route was continued as an
indemnity withdrawal. The company
selected the land October II, 1888. The
principal question at issue is, whether the
railroad indemnity Withdrawals are author
lied by law; or, in other words, whether
an officer of the Interior Department had
or has authority to withhold lands within
INDEMNITY HIlltS uOn entIy anu oetelS-
ment The Attorney-General finds that
such withdrawal does not rest upon any
statutory provision, but upon the general
authority of the Land Department, which
has been recognized by Congress, repeatedly
affirmed by the Supreme Court of the
United States and can only now be regarded
as too well established to be questioned.
The land having been surreptitiously with
drawn since 1872 it follows therefore, that

General Uprising in Russian Cities
Threatened.
NEW YORK, March 19th-A. NJ Especial
The Stars London special says; The Berlin
police tonight warned the st. Petersburg
authorities that a day has been fixed
by the Terrorist section of the Nj
hilists for simultaneous rising at
st. Petersburg, Moscow and other large
centers of population. The information
in the possession of the Berlin police
comes from the same source that
enabled the warning to be sent
to st. Petersburg that an attempt would be
made on the Cars life. The st. Peters
burg police force is harrassed and demor-
allied by the severity of their duties since
the arrest of the students. Reports that
Nihilists alone were concerned in the late
plot is disproved by the fact that scores of
Constituencies have been arrested.
THE CARS PALACE swARMING WITH POLICE.
Vienna reports state that secret societies
are known to be reuniting, it is suspected,
for general rising. The revolutionary
movement is believed to have received an
enormous impetus by the recent arrests.
Branches of the revolutionary societies are
stated to have been established in all the
principal towns, and the movement is rap
idly extending to the most remote parts of
the country. 1t is believed that in many
districts the nobility are leading the move
ment.
The force of agents of the secret police
detailed to watch over the Cars palace at
Gatschina is now so large that the palace is
completely surrounded, and the entire
vicinity is placed under surveillance night
and day.
THE INsTIGAToR OF SUNDAYS PLOT.
1t is supposed that last Sundays plot to
assassinate the Gar was planned by De-
gaieff, alias Jablonski the famous Nihilist
leader, who was the author of the con-
spiracy which resulted in the killing of
Lieutenant Colonel Sodeikein, the Russian
Chief of Police, three years ago. Degaieff
was transported to Siberia, but escaped to
Switzerland.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION.

Tho President Evidently on the Eve OF
Naming His Men.
WASHINGTON, March ISth.-[Special l.
Ex-senator Thurman, of Ohio, and ex-
Governor Robinson, of Massachusetts, each
had long interview with the President to-
day. Their visit to the White House
caused great deal of comment, and spec
ulation is rife as to its object Robinson
was closeted with the President from 10
o'clock until 4:l5 P. NJ, when he took the
train for Boston. Thurman was with the
President nearly an hour.
1t is learned that Cleveland has thrice
rendered Robinson a position on the Inter
state Commerce Commission, as one of its
Republican members, and that the honor
has been thrice refused. The supposition
now is that he has gone to Boston at the
Presidents request 10 confer with some
other person they have in mind.
1t seems to be settled that if any Com
missioner is to be appointed from New
England it will be Republican.
The latest report is that Judge Cooley, of
Michigan, who originally declined to serve
on the Commission, has reconsidered his
determination and will be appointed.
Cooley is Republican. Morrison,
Bragg, of Alabama, and an unknown man
are SdtQ 10 nave Detil CuOScu dS lAc 1cu1O-
cratic members of the Commission.
Judge Thurman's S call upon the President
was in relation to the Pacific Railroad In
vestigating Commission, of which it is re-
ported he has been offered the Chairman
ship. The interview had reference to the
selection of Commissioners to perform this
important Investigation, and if Thurman
does not take the position he will have
much to do with the choice of Commits
sioners.
Speaker Carlisle was also among the
Presidents callers. He had declined to
allow the use of his name in connection
with the Secretaryship of the Treasury.

LONDON, March 1Sth.-GIadstone' speech
last night, and Sir George Trevelyan's Of
the night before, established beyond a
question that of what long ago was able
to inform you-which is the utter impossi-
bility of any agreement between Gladstone
and the refractory Radicals and Liberal
Unionists, resulting from the round-table
conference. Gladstone declares that home
rule must precede land purchase, because
he wants the Irish Government to be
responsible for any money the British pay
ers may advance, while Chamberlain wants
the land purchased before home rule is
enacted, because he expects settlement of
the land question would kill the demand
for home rule. These are two funda-
mentally different points of view, and
when, in addition, it is borne in mind that
Chamberlains first and last object is to up
set Glandstone, it viii be seen the hope of
reconciliation was utterly futile.

New YORK, March 1Sth.-Adyices from
Panama state that Venezuelan paper, the
S0lde Obrielt, says that in six districts three
honorable men have been murdered to pre-
vent them from voting with the Liberal
party and making a manifestation against
the policy of Guzman Blanco.
The Deputies have granted the Govern
ment $4,000 to be expended in keeping up
sanitary cordons on the roads from the Ar
gentine Republic in Bolivia. On Decem-
Der 26th the first case of cholera was re-
ported in Chile. On January 9TH the dis
ease was busy in Cotenne, Pauque and
Chagres, and within q few days was play
ing havoc along the whole course of the
Aconeagua river.
Senior Cotapous, a Chilean Deputy, has
proposed that the nation concede a pension
to the families of all who may die attend
ing cholera patients.
In Locampo, Chile, small town, from
sixteen to twenty deaths were occurring
daily, and the people became SO alarmed
that they finally abandoned the place.
In the Argentine Republic they are
building, at the Governments expense,
barracks to hold from 500 to 200 persons
each. They are to be occupied by immi-
grants arriving there and whom it may be
necessary to quarantine.
No vessels from Chile, Uruguay, Peru, or
the Argentine Republic are allowed to en-
ter Nicaraguan ports. Honduras has
adopted similar precautionary measures.
The Government of Costa Rica has issued
a decree ordering all port authorities to re-
fuse all vessels to anchor which arrive
from cholera-infested ports of South
America.

The New French Treatment Employed
With Success.


PHILADELPHIA, March 1Sth-Ata meet
ing of the Hospital Committee of the Board
of Guardians of the Poor to-day Dr. I. N
Mclaughlin, Physician-i Chief of the
Philadelphia Hospital, presented a report
of the success of the treatment adopted
about month ago for patients in that in
stitution suffering from consumption. He
said that so far the success of the treat
ment was almost marvellous, and in cases
which had agreed to submit to the methods
adopted no other has been used. Mr. Nc
Laughlin first obtained the idea from a
paper read before the College of Science
recently in Paris by a Professor in the
University of Lyons. 1t was recon-
mended so highly, and had shown
such surprising results in France,
that DIR. Mclaughlin decided to
test it in his hospital. He explained the
treatment of the PATIENTS and thirty of
them agreed to submit to the operation.
Twenty of these patients were considered
to be suffering from the last stages of con-
sumption. Two rectal injections of car
bonic acid gas, prepared by the process
given by the French physician, were given
each day, all medicine being abandoned.
The patients at once began to show signs
of improvement. The night sweats de-
creased as if by magic, and the almost
constant pains from which they suffered
vanished. The excretions of the body were
regular and became natural, and the appe-
stite returned

Disasters Looked For.
BISMARCK (Dak.), March 18TH The
Washburne gorge broke last night, and
early this morning the river began to rise
rapidly, and gorge was formed below the
city. The ice carried everything with it,
and struck the immense warehouse of the
Northern Pacific, one of the largest in the
world. The workmen narrowly escaped
drowning, and in less than two hours from
the time the gorge broke the water was in
the second stories of the river boarding
houses, which had been built on what was
considered high ground. The warehouse,
which is nearly seven hundred feet in
length, was moved bodily over 30 feet and
sent crashing against the bluffs. The loss
on this building will be over $15, 900.
The meadow land south of Bismarck,
comprising 5000 acres. is now one vast sea,
and the water is flowing over the newly
made channel, in this body of surplus
water, at the rate of ten miles an hour.
The river at this point, which is usually
three e-quarters of a mile wide, is now over
six miles in width. The Northern Pacific
trains will hardly be able to cross the river
for several days, and Bismarck will proba-
bly, be the western terminus for week.

Pacific at this point has been damaged. Al
o'clock the new channel which the river
had cut across the prairie let out the ice,
and the river is falling slowly, but the
worst has not yet come.
The ice went out at Fort Buford this
morning with rise of thirty feet, the
highest ever known. This food will not
reach here until Saturday, when there will
probably be terrible destruction.

Supreme Court, said to areporter this even

speculations Regarding the Indians Seen
in the Mountains.


BENSON, March 1Sth.-The theory has
been advanced that the Indians recently
seen in the Dragon mountains are the
few uncaptured Chiricahuas that were in
Mexico after the remainder of the tribe
were sent to Florida. Some, however, be-
liege them to be Mexican horse thieves dis
guised as Indians. Captain Hatfield and
company have left for Middle Pass, being
ordered to that point, as it is reported that
Indians are killing stock near there. There
is little doubt but that Apaches have left
the reservation, and that their main object
is stock stealing. They wish to replace
their stock which was killed during the
campaign last year.
